Deadlocking using the key

 Turn the key to the right in the
driver's door lock to lock the ve-
hicle completely and hold it in this
position for more than two sec-
onds to close the windows auto-
matically in addition to locking.

 Turn the key to the right again
within fi ve seconds to deadlock
the vehicle.
Deadlocking is confi rmed by fi xed
lighting of the direction indicators for
approximately two seconds.
According to version, the exterior
mirrors fold at the same time.
This also triggers the timed switch-
ing on of the exterior side spotlamps
and guide-me-home lighting, if this
is activated.
Deadlocking renders the exterior and
interior door controls inoperative.
It also deactivates the manual
central control button.
Therefore, never leave anyone
inside the vehicle when it is
deadlocked.
 First press button A to fold the
key.
Locating your vehicle

 Press the closed padlock to lo-
cate your locked vehicle in a car
park.
This is indicated by lighting of the
courtesy lamps and exterior side
spotlamps and fl ashing of the direc-
tion indicators for a few seconds. Guide-me-home lighting
A press on button
B operates the
guide-me-home lighting (lighting
of the sidelamps, dipped beams,
number plate lamps and exterior
side spotlamps (located underneath
the exterior rear view mirrors)).
A second press before the end of
the timing cancels the guide-me-
home lighting.
Anti-theft protection
Electronic engine immobiliser
The key contains an electronic chip
which has a special code. When the
ignition is switched on, this code
must be recognised in order for
starting to be possible.
This electronic engine immobiliser
locks the engine management sys-
tem a few minutes after the ignition
is switched off and prevents starting
of the engine by anyone who does
not have the key.
In the event of a mal-
function, you are in-
formed by lighting of
this warning lamp, an
audible signal and a
message on the multifunction screen.
In this case, your vehicle does not
start; contact a CITROËN dealer as
soon as possible.

Lost keys
Visit a CITROËN dealer with the
vehicle's V5 registration document
and your personal identifi cation
documents.
The CITROËN dealer will be able to
retrieve the key code and the trans-
ponder code required to order a
replacement key.
Remote control
The high frequency remote control is
a sensitive system; do not operate it
while it is in your pocket as there is
a possibility that it may unlock the
vehicle, without you being aware of it.
Do not repeatedly press the buttons
of your remote control out of range
and out of sight of your vehicle. You
run the risk of stopping it from work-
ing and the remote control would
have to be reinitialised.
The remote control does not operate
when the key is in the ignition, even
when the ignition is switched off,
except for reinitialisation.
Locking the vehicle
Driving with the doors locked may
make access to the passenger com-
partment by the emergency services
more diffi cult in an emergency.
As a safety precaution (with children
on board), remove the key from the
ignition when you leave the vehicle,
even for a short time. Anti-theft protection
Do not make any modifi cations to
the electronic engine immobiliser
system; this could cause malfunc-
tions.
When purchasing a
second-hand vehicle
Have the key codes memorised by a
CITROËN dealer, to ensure that the
keys in your possession are the only
ones which can start the vehicle.
Do not throw the remote
control batteries away, they
contain metals which are
harmful to the environment.
Take them to an approved collection
point.

as-
sistance .

Never remove the ignition key
before the vehicle has come to a
complete stop.
STOPPING
Vehicles equipped with a
turbocharger
Never stop the engine without having
allowed it to run for a few seconds
at idle, this being the time required
for the turbocharger to return to a
normal speed.
Flicking the accelerator at the mo-
ment of switching off the ignition
could cause serious damage.
A heavy object (key fob...), attached
to the key and weighing down on
its shaft in the ignition switch, could
cause a malfunction.
Never turn the key to this position
when the engine is running.
